OR IS THAT NOT A PROBLEM SINCE ALL AREAS <br />THAT NEED TO BE DISTURBED HAVE ALREADY BEEN AFFECTED? <br />Refer to accompanying contour map showing the approximate <br />contours of Pond No. 4 at its completed height. <br />26. WHAT PLANS DO STANDARD METALS HAVE WITH REFERENCE TO <br />RECLAMATION OF THE PORTAL AREA? <br />Refer to page I4 (narrative), paragraph 2, concerning <br />the mine yard reclamation. <br />27. ACCESS ROAD/HAULROADS ARE SHOWN BETWEEN VARIOUS AREAS ON <br />THE MAPS. ARE THEY INCLUDED IN THE AFFECTED AREA? WHAT <br />IS THE HISTORY OF SAID ROADS? WILL THEY REMAIN UPON <br />RECLAMATION? <br />All access roads associated with the operation were <br />construed for tailings pond development and maintenance, and <br />are included in the affected area. They are currently i.n use <br />as maintenance roads for the reclamation project and wi7.1 be <br />reclaimed as moderately disturbed areas. The haul road from <br />the mine to the mill is Colorado Highway 110. The apprc>ximate <br />alignment has been in use for about 100 years. <br />28. AREAS OF DISTURBANCE -- MAJOR, MODERATE AND MINOR ~~RE <br />SHOWN ON MAP #3. ARE THESE AREAS OF DISTURBANCE CCRRENTLY <br />EXIST, OR DO YOU INTEND THESE TO APPLY THROUGHOUT 7.'HE LIFE <br />OF THE MINE? <br />The major, moderate and minor disturbance description <br />of these areas as shown on Map 3 is the status of these parti- <br />cular areas at the present time. The Reclamation Timettible <br />(page 45) explains the changes these areas will encounte=r on <br />a yearly basis. <br />29. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT FUTURE TAILINGS DEPOSITION IN ~1REA <br />#4 MAY EFFECT HIGHWAY 110 WHICH I UNDERSTAND HAD BIiEN <br />RELOCATED IN THE PAST? <br />The newly located Highway 110 will not be affec+_ed by <br />Pond 4 development. <br />30. ARE THERE CURRENTLY ANY REQUIREMENTS FOR EMISSION ]?ERMITS <br />FOR DUST EMISSIONS ASSOCIATED WITH SURFACE RELATED <br />ACTIVITIES OF MINING? (MILLING/TAILINGS) <br />There are no requirements for emission permits :Eor dust <br />emission from the operation. <br />ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS <br />1. WHERE IS THE EXACT PERMIT AREA? IT SHOULD BE SPECIFICALLY <br />OUTLINED AND LABELED IN THE MAP. <br />The exact permit area of the milling operation can be <br />located by correlating the legal description areas with the <br />reclamation areas drawn on Map 3. The mine portal permit area <br />can be located on the accompanying index map. <br />
